[Which might sound really, really touching, but. She sort of means "you can bring me back from the dead" and "I sort of just had a useful person to me die, so".]

They're cute aren't they?
[caring obviously come on Amber think of the lure.
And just in case this is someone's nickname...]
FROM: havoc@cdc.org
Who?
[ Almina. Reading through past entries have occasionally yielded results. But she thinks that might be a name no one's allowed to utter, let alone over the network. ]
no subject
You are concerned for me. Why?
[ Amber thinks the question is more for Havoc's benefit than her own. ]
no subject
You're important to me, Amber.
[Which might sound really, really touching, but. She sort of means "you can bring me back from the dead" and "I sort of just had a useful person to me die, so".]
no subject
You're worried I would be compromised.
FROM: amber@cdc.org
I'm not.
[ That can mean so many things, ranging from the emotionally touching to the chillingly logical. She hopes it's both. ]
no subject
Alright.
[She doesn't quite believe her, but if she's going to not act compromised... that's fine.]

What are you doing with the animal?
no subject
I told you. I'll find a way.
FROM: amber@cdc.org
Keep it. Feed it. Try not to kill it?
no subject
She wants Hei back around, too. Enough not to challenge that promise.]
FROM: havoc@cdc.org
I don't think I've ever kept a pet.
no subject
If I ever did, I don't remember.

Let's have a play date.
no subject
FROM: havoc@cdc.org
What traits does yours have? Are they supposed to be this tiny?
no subject
It's peach with white spots. Very small. And fuzzy. And cute . . .
FROM: amber@cdc.org
I turn moe just looking at it.
[ That's probably a misuse of the word. ]
no subject
Mine's brownish. And weak. Definitely can't fend for itself. Should they even be apart from their mothers at this stage?
FROM: havoc@cdc.org
You turn... moe?
[yeah... what?]
no subject
Budding. Cutesy. It's a Japanese trope.
FROM: amber@cdc.org
Mine tried eating cat hair. I'm glad it's not crying for milk.
no subject
Oh.
FROM: havoc@cdc.org
Know anyone good with animals?
no subject
Good in caring for them or...?
[ Or in hunting and killing them cause the former's more difficult find. ]
FROM: amber@cdc.org
The captain?
no subject
no subject
We have more little boys than little girls here.
FROM: amber@cdc.org
Gliese.
no subject
So?
FROM: havoc@cdc.org
Can't say we're close. I don't deal with more than Dagger usually.
[a conscious choice]
no subject
I don't think Hinata would find the furball charming.
FROM: amber@cdc.org
Why not?
no subject
He's not the only one I work with- if he doesn't that's fine.
FROM: havoc@cdc.org
I don't stick my nose in to higher-ups businesses. I heard what happened before.
no subject
That girl Kaname?
FROM: amber@cdc.org
Optimus Prime?
no subject
I'm more concerned with my works in progress.
FROM: havoc@cdc.org
Before that. The other CDC ship.
no subject
Who are they? I could help :)
FROM: amber@cdc.org
The retired one.
[ Almina. Reading through past entries have occasionally yielded results. But she thinks that might be a name no one's allowed to utter, let alone over the network. ]
no subject
How?
FROM: havoc@cdc.org
That one.
no subject
I'm not too bad with kids.
[ Case in point: Maki. Maybe even Bai and Hei... to an extent. ]
FROM: amber@cdc.org
That came from asking too many questions?
no subject
Well you had tea with one. He's the youngest in service I think. Real cynic, though.
FROM: havoc@cdc.org
Anyone related to the problem was eliminated as far as I can tell. If one of the higher ups here is involved in something I don't want to be involved.
no subject
Ah, I'm not good with that one.
FROM: amber@cdc.org
That's rational.
[ A compliment, depending on how Havoc sees it. But then she wonders why there's even doubt over the Instructors' loyalty. That's concerning. ]
FROM: amber@cdc.org
About that play date. Can I come over?
